In the United States of America, the employers are required to pay special attention over the rights of their employees and never try to exploit them or deal them with unfair means. It is because some time ago this practice was very common and employees were suffering a lot. The US government after seeing this situation has gradually launched laws in order to protect the rights of employees but unfortunately only laws didn’t bring fruitful results because for whom these laws were made, they were totally unaware about them e.g. many labors lost their lives by working on the sky high buildings without taking appropriate safety measures. For the same reason, it was felt to side by side impose these laws. They must be displayed so that the employees could understand them and save themselves from exploitation and unfair treatment of their employers.

The government is now demanding employers to display these laws in the shape of approved labor law posters and place them on such a place so that every employee could easily see them and work according to them by becoming aware of his rights and obligations. These posters contain various laws regarding health and safety, insurance discrimination and other important details. There is no doubt that among several posters the safety posters have prime importance because they are directly related with the health and safety of employees. These posters bound the employers to provide such a working place to employees which are hazard free and safe. If the employees are working on such a place where threats of injuries are higher then they must be provided with appropriate safety equipments otherwise the employer will have to pay heavy compensation and heavy fines and penalties imposed by the labor department due to violation of labor laws, which could hamper the overall growth of his business.

Every state differs in labor laws such as the Texas labor law posters are different from the California labor law posters but they have one thing common in them that these posters are especially designed in order to provide intense protection to employees and enable them to understand their rights and obligations in best manner.
